Henry, Teh GS850 was first registered in June 88. They were still available in the UK until early 89, however I think Suzuki actually stopped production in 87 and that the ones available here were back stock.
Must admit I like the GS range, the over 550 ones anyway. I've had 4 and they have never let me down. The 850 sits outside in all weathers and always starts first push of the button and its an ideal tool for lugging the sidecar. Wish I'd discovered sidecars a bit earlier, just stick the kids in the chair and you can't here them arguing with each other. Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henry S.
